Transferring files between Android and PC via Wi-Fi Direct

I want to use Wi-Fi Direct to transfer files between Android and PC. I do not want to use any third-party software, not even the free versions. I want to fully use the Wi-Fi Direct technology via command line or ad-hoc network.

How can I do that?

In layman's terms, natively Android can not be mounted via WLAN as a "drive", neither does Android natively offer something like a "network folder" (or can access it on another system). So either you use a different connection (e.g. a USB cable) or third party software.

There might be some "third party" tools from your phone's manufacturer but that depends...

smarterdroid's Wifi File Transfer enables communication between PC and android. you must have some kind of server running on the android device in order to talk to it with shell commands such as wget and curl.
